Advanced Running Watch with Body Battery optimizing your body's energy!

The Garmin Forerunner 245 is the perfect wrist worn coach providing you with performance statics throughout daily activities and workouts along with a battery life that lasts up to 7 days, keeping up with your every move flawlessly. A sleek design and a sweatproof silicone band with a durable Corning Gorilla Glass 3 display is perfect for workouts or for everyday wear, and in any weather situation. When paired with a compatible smartphone, you will receive emails, texts, and alerts right on your Forerunner 245 so you never miss out on important information no matter where you are! Via the Connect IQ Store, you can download custom watch faces, add data fields, get apps & widgets to personalize your Forerunner to your personal usage and needs.

Workout routines can easily be switched right on your Forerunner 245. Quickly change between cycling, pool swimming, track running, elliptical, stair stepper, and more and receive daily suggested workouts with personalized training guidance for varying intensities based on training history, fitness levels and recovery times. The intuitive Garmin Coach provides adaptive training plans with guidance from expert coaches that adapt to you and your workout goals, and sync right to your Forerunner 245. Built-in training load statistics measure your exercise volumes from the last 7 days and will compare this information to the optimal range of your fitness and recent training history allowing you to make changes on the fly.

Training smarter is key and with a built-in VO2 max indicator metric system, this Forerunner can account for changes in performance that can be caused by heat or altitude, which can be crucial to your workout performance. A wrist-based sensor can estimate your body’s blood oxygen saturation levels to gauge how your body absorbs oxygen, especially while you are sleeping. Training effect feedback shows you how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed, and power with aerobic and anaerobic feedback and after each workout is complete, the Forerunner 245 and the built-in recovery time advisor lets you know how long to rest before continuing your next workout phase. This recovery time mode can also take into account all day street, sleep, and daily activities outside of workouts.

Crucial running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time, balance and more are all recorded by your Garmin 245 when used with a compatible accessory such as a running dynamics pod, HRM-Run, or HRM-Tri monitoring system (sold separately). When paired with your compatible smartphone, use the LiveTrack feature to let friends and family follow your real-time location and even view a preplanned course so they always know where you are, a perfect safety feature especially when running solo. Create a list of emergency contacts that will be notified when your Forerunner senses an incident has occurred or if you simply feel unsafe, your present location will be sent to your specified contacts right away.
